LEAN Manufacturing in Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012 (80310A)

This course provides students with a detailed overview of the Lean Manufacturing module in Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012. It provides a description of the main features and processes used to run lean manufacturing and includes detailed labs, scenarios, examples, and demonstrations that range from understanding and configuring different types of Kanbans, to subcontracting and setting up production flow costing.

Audience ProfileThis course is intended for:

Partners, consultants, presales consultants, and professionals that have a moderate understanding of basic Lean Manufacturing concepts and production processes.

PrerequisitesBefore attending this course, students must have:

Basic Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and processes.

Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012 Production.

Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012 Trade and Logistics.

ObjectivesAfter completing this course, students will be able to:

Describe the core concepts of Lean manufacturing.

Create a new production flow version and describe activity relations and constraints, picking activities and costing implications.

Explain how fixed quantity Kanbans are used including how to set up rules, review planning processes, and use the Kanban schedule board.

Describe how event Kanbans are used including how to configure rules, set up sales line events, Kanban line events, BOM line events and stock replenishment events.

Describe the processes associated with the planned order type Kanban.

Define and setup activity based subcontracting.

Describe production flow costing including: back flushing, conversion costs, cost reporting to the general ledger, and how production costing is set up for a Kanban job based on subcontracting activity.

Define how to set up and configure Kanban quantity calculation policies and how to create quantity calculations to generate and update Kanban rules.

Module 3: Use and Manage KanbansThis module provides a base level introduction into the various types of Kanbans and an overview of how they are best used in the Lean manufacturing production environment.Lessons

Module 5: Event KanbansSince event Kanbans are only created out of related demand, they belong to the production category of “make-to-order" and are created when certain events occur. This module describes these events and how to set up and process event Kanbans.Lessons
